    Just starting.... 2013 APIM Sync 3

    Yes, I was successful and have been running it since 2018. Overall process was not too bad. The more challenging was creating brackets to mount the screen. I found a screen that was not from an explorer so I ended up buying joist hangers and modifying them to fit. The only ‘wish’ is that I...

    Is there a way to change or turndown the volume of the BLINKER???
